i was wondering if anyone knew how to instal the midi to usb drive in linux ?
i can get the editor to open but it crashes onces it scans the kross's global data

i would guess it would be like this for all korg products that require the driver so if anyone knows anything it would help me very much, thanks

this is interesting. i also have a laptop running ubuntu, although i have never tried installing the editor.

i'm assuming you installed the editor using wine?

i will try my luck this weekend. thanks for the idea.

Yea i did,

it works if i don't let it load the data from kross but if it tried to load from the kross it tells me i need the driver, i tried to install the driver and it seems like it installs yet i get the pop up telling me i need to install it, i think its the driver more then anything, somehow its just not installing i think?

I personally can't see any viable reason to trust Ubuntu as a musician. It's a nice OS, but most hardware either fails miserably to interact with it, or hardware companies doesn't care to support Ubuntu. I'd say stick with Windows.

@Asleep By Dawn, sorry it took me quite a long while to post my results. i didn't even get past the installation of the kross editor, as all choices (32-bit or 64-bit) were grayed out.

i was, however, able to install the editor for the microKorg XL+. when i started the editor, i received an error message that the driver needs to be installed. but after clicking OK, i am able to receive and send programs normally. no crashes.
